Testimony shared by 2 young Sudanese men living in Calais. They are in the habit of charging their phones on a construction site across facing their camp, with the consent of the manager.
“They left the phones there. They have a good relationship with the manager who agreed to put their phone on charge. They went to the Jungle to have some food and tea. The police came to the jungle, did a checkpoint and everything. The police went to the company [the place where the phones were charging], entered the company, broke all the phones and left.”
“They were two. One male, one female. They had a police car, uniforms, a camera and everything. It was written ‘police’ on the car.
“They saw them breaking the phones and were trying to stop them, and the police tear-gassed them.”
